Skiing can be enjoyed in many ways. At ski areas you may see people
using
alpine, snowboard, telemark, cross country and other specialized
ski
equipment, such as that used by disabled or other skiers. Regardless
of how
you decide to enjoy the slopes, always show courtesy to others
and be aware
that there are elements of risk in skiing that common sense and
personal
awareness can help reduce. Observe the code listed below and share
with
other skiers the responsibility for a great skiing experience.
1. Always stay in control, and be able to stop or avoid other people
or
objects.
2. People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility
to avoid
them.
3. You must not stop where you obstruct a trail, or are not visible
from
above.
4. Whenever starting downhill or merging into a trail, look uphill
and yield to
others.
5. Always use devices to help prevent runaway equipment.
6. Observe all posted signs and warnings. Keep off closed trails
and out of
closed areas.
7. Prior to using any lift, you must have the knowledge and ability
to load, ride
and unload safely.
KNOW THE CODE. IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
This is a partial list. Be safety conscious.
